I have taken my first job on odesk writing articles.
The client has a positive rating (4.8/5 stars, 50 reviews), has paid out over $6,000 to freelancers, and has been a member for about 18 months.
So far so good!
But...he is not very forthcoming with payment information.
I had to ask for a contract after writing the first few articles. I got one with a milestone for work already completed. So I asked about payment and I was told to contact an email address and that payments are made bi-weekly. I contacted the email address and received a similar response. I made the payment request 3 days ago and have not been paid.
One freelancers claims not to have been paid, but basically all other reviews are positive.
There are a bunch of hires with $0 paid but they are all current hires.
Should I be worried?
And yes, I know oDesk writing isn't very fastlane but it's part of a bigger plan.
